Pros

Zwave has been rock solid, they are responsive and work as they should. Supports s2 security reliably. Seems to work nice and plays well with my smartthings hub.

Straightforward to install and pair. Installation is fairly easy, but you do have to turn off the breaker and do rewiring in the switch box. They work fine in 3-way configuration but i used the ge add-on module as i wanted to have the rocker style on ...  Read More

These are great way to build out your home automation. Not a big deal, but a way of giving the consumer more bang for the buck. Some of the least expensive on the market for the capability.



Cons

The switch fails to turn off the light after it's run for a month or two. It behaves like a computer, phone, or router that has to be rebooted periodically. It shows up as a generic z-wave switch, although it can be manually changed. I hope this lasts...  Read More

The only positives for this smaller profile, comparable to the new enbrighten ge switches. The photo provided by the geniuses here is also old, as the new one does not have those fins. These switches are junk.

Quality


The hubitat recognized each of these switches flawlessly and the routine is working perfectly.


These are great way to build out your home automation.


I installed 2 of these: the first failed to join smartthings and then managed to do it on its own, probably at the end when i walked away.


Paired within 10 seconds of scanning the code on the cover.

Price


This was the lowest cost z-wave switch i could find.


It's a little bit pricey to do the whole house, was wanting them to turn off an on when my kids left the lights on in their roo...  Read More


Reliable and lower cost at the time time.

Shipping


I tried very fast, all the way to just "quick" taps.


Update***vender shipped replacement and the new switch works perfectly.

Packaging/appearance


Great that there are no pigtails since box space is at a premium.


It’s a jasco switch with a different packaging.


Wish the body was a little smaller to make them fit into the box better.


You also need to have a neutral wire (usually the white wire) present in the box where each one is being installed.

Competitiveness


Seem better quality than the ge brand of z wave switches.


As far as i can tell this is the exact same switch as the current version ge embrighten z-wave plus paddle switch.


These z-wave switches appear to be exact same switch as enbrighten brand switches.


Was skeptical to buy this off name switch, even though it's the same switch as another name brand just renamed.
